LONDON. July 1S.-Walter William Long
,,,sprvatve called the attention OF the
rommons this afternoon to the breach oil
,,;r;Iege committed last Friday. in the
Iobby. by DR.. Charles Kearns Tan
-, psrnellite in calling him Long) a
ie,, le,,nad snob. Continuing Long said be
aat'Ir aaa hv letter warned DR.. Tanner OF his
nav '.ant;on - of bringing the matter before
.l.'h .ho house Notwithstanding this Tanner
.pe ionw absent although with a full kno J.
;, Dsns n that his presence is required to defend
s;s.oN sGs, The facts of the case were: Long
h,n hnurv heardt that Tanner had complained
na' n'. t;s yote had not been recorded in a.
.na. .as,oin direction and meeting him in the
sshh1 w. asked him what was the matter and
;atauvtbinc anu was wrong in the record of the
discnssion. Tanner replied: you're a
Tnrv aren't Won? wish to God then you
roudn't speak to me. have told
YOU DAMNED TORIES,
never to speak to me-" irish cheers.]
Talk to your own damned lot"
Long answered: II wasn't aware that
vou didn't wish to be spoken to-
Tanner then vert on to say: keep
,our damned tongue in your mouth; don't
make blasted fool of yourself" Laugh
ter by the Parnellites ]
As Long was hurrying away Tanner
called out: There goes the damned snOb."
Long. after giving this history OF the in
Gdept. said: He would rather have
nassed over the affair with contempt, but
as 4 occurred within the precincts Of the
House. and in the presence OF every men,
bpr he felt it his duty to bring the whole
matter before the House.
All. Smith, government leader, moved
that Tanner be suspended for month.
Sexton said he considered such proceed
ing
SCARCELY LESS DIsGRACEFUL
than the language complained of. Tanner
had frequently requested the Conservative
member not to address him. Long would
have acted wisely if he had not spoken to
Tanner at the time. The Doctor was ex-
cited over his exclusion from a division.
Theincident didn't deserve the treatment it
was accorded The Doctor does not de-
serve the severe penalty proposed. AS to
bis absence, he was in Ireland keeping a
public engagement. He would meet the &C
cusahon any day appointed. Sexton
moved to adjourn the debate until time
when Tsn0er should be present.
Smith reminded the house that no re-
quest for delay or any apology will be re-
CeiVed from Tanner.
ParbeI submitted that there was no
precedent for suspending member for
month without giving him chance to be
heard.
GLADSTONE THOUGHT
fheproposed punishment for the offense,
supported by exparte evidence, was dispro-
pOrtioned to what was usually admins
tered. Smith, after hearing Mr.. Gladstone
said he would not press his motion, and
insisted that Tanner should attend Thurs
day and respond to the charge. Agreed

LORD HARRINGTON
had an interview to-day with W. H. Smith
On the amendments to the land bill. The
meeting resulted in Smiths acceptance OF
the proposals of the liberal unionists.
Lord Salisbury at a reunion of the conserv-
atves tomorrow will announce the extent
Of the CONCESSIONS.
Sr William Horcourt, speaking at a
meeting OF the national liberl federation
today, congratulated the party on the ad-
nlrabe spirit shown by them though IN
the minority. While the Government ma.
l1orlty were dismayed and discounted at
m me recent elections the only parties In the
State are liberals and Tories. The union
st masqueraders must either rejoin the
Onoerals, as Trevelyn had done, or follow
Goschen into the Tory ranks, The liberals
mad one chief and one object and their
hopes OF victory were near.
